Confession: I’m a certified shoe addict! Not a season passes by without scoring a pair or two (or more) of the latest boots, pumps and sandals. And, since spring is about to make a comeback, it’s time to release your feet from boot confinement and plunge them into summer sandals and slippers.
One of the most talked-about summer shoe designs – defined as an Avante-guard by Vogue – is Jonathan Anderson’s Loewe stilettos. This experimental collection featured heels with cracked eggs, soap bars, upside-down roses, and birthday candles. And while many fashionistas would love to add a pair from this collection, it’s almost impossible to fetch them online.
But besides roses and nail varnish bottles, what else is trending in sandals this summer?
The most notable summer sandals trends have to be the towering platform heels! Thanks to Versace for giving petite women the chance to grow 6 inches with these sold-out coveted heels.
On the other end of the spectrum, ballerina shoes take centre stage in summer and keep us grounded. That should come as a surprise since we almost forgot how to walk in heels after spending two years at home. Ballerina and kitten heels sandals are the baby steps back to everyday life!
The biggest summer sandals and shoe trends in 2022
Platform heels
Bring back the 70s and disco with platform heels. Of course, rocking these heels is dangerous, but they indeed make a gigantic fashion statement.
Kitten heels
If you fear heights, you may want to take a more calculated risk with cute kitten heels. They are elegant to wear day and night.
Ballerina
The lovely ballerina shoes are a staple in a Parisian woman’s closet. So why wouldn’t you want to slip into delicate comfort on your next summer vacay?
Bright sandals
Bring on the colors of the rainbow with bright summer sandals. We are ready to walk into freedom with optimistic sandals that speak volume.
Peep toe
Toe cleavage is the rage this summer. We’re thrilled for this comeback and can’t wait to march in chic peep toe
Strappy
Strap your heels with these tiny robes that crawl up your legs as far as the knees. If you are as old as I am, you are currently experiencing a 90s flashback. Are you with me on that?
Pointy mules
Another timeless shoe trend that’s been spotted on the runway is pointy mules that pair beautifully with jeans and shorts. Hint, they elongate the legs for a slimmer look so go ahead and slip into them now.
Fisherman
The ulgy but loved for their comfort and sporty look. I swore that I won’t wear them until I did. They’re youthful and your feet will thank you.
High Top sneakers
Step aside chunky sneakers, basketball sneakers and the 80s kids are back in court!
White Sneakers
Lastly, if you don’t fancy summer sandals, white sneakers are still a thing. And why not? if in doubt, wear white sneakers.
